To me the question is not the locales of the browser, but the encoding
of the HTML file.  If the encoding is ISO latin 1 as in:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Then it seems to me that the URI::Escape call should be on a ISO latin 1
encoded string.  But I am not sure.
